![]() ![]() If a pop-up window appears after reinserting the microSD card, quickly close it, and turn on TestDisk immediately. This opening gave me a chance to access the card using TestDisk. This meant that having the system read the card would cause it to become corrupted and unreadable. I was lucky that I realized my card was readable for a few short moments when it is freshly inserted each time. If your card has turned into 0bytes, try to safety remove it and reinserting it again, taking care to not let Windows read it, or even be in /Computer/ to be safe. Safely remove your card and reinsert it (while holding SHIFT(?)), and see what happens. Trying to fix the card and extracting any information from it in this state is futile. Searched online for solutions and found PhotoRec and TestDisk. This is when I realized things got serious. It turned from a readable card into a non-readable card with 0bytes in exFAT format. For a moment, the card was detected and seems to be normal, but trying to access it (bad move), caused the card to become corrupted. Still no luck, I then proceeded to attempt to read the card using my PC (Windows). I even tried rebooting a few times, removing the card and putting it back in, to see if it was just a trivial connection issue. It is worth noting that my phone was unusually hot. Upon auto reboot, I realized that my microSD card, a 64GB Sandisk, wasn't detected. (It wasn't the first time that the phone crashed, but quite a few times in recent years.) My Samsung S7, Android OS, suddenly crashed while I was playing a game. I was using my phone when it all happened. Note that it may or may not help you at all, but just putting it here so that by any chance someone faces a similar issue, it will be able to help them. Here is a brief summary of the events that happened. I'm still in awe that I was able to recover my files, seeing as I've never seen such a bad corruption before, and it was also my first time recovering files. ![]() So, THANK YOU so much cgrenier! PhotoRec and TestDisk is such an amazing app! ^-^ It fortunately did copied some files out, and most importantly of all, the files that mattered the most. The final attempt managed to salvage the situation.īy providing me the clue about the flash controller, and contacting a data recovery company, I googled around and determined that there was still some kind of hope, and perhaps testdisk is able to copy the files out somehow. I would have given up on trying to recover the files, but seeing that someone else tried to help, I've decided to give it one last shot. I will write a summary of the events that happened in the next post, so that others may read it and try to understand it, and also for those who may encounter a similar problem such as mine, be able to recover the files that are important to them, and perhaps even fix it fully.īut before that, I would like to thank cgrenier for the replies, and also for creating such an amazing app to be able to help those in need (and even provide it as free-use for everyone!). It's a mystery that remains, but for now, I'll put it to rest. How did it happen? Were the files that failed to copy over corrupted? And are they the ones that caused the corruption? ![]() Thank goodness! Although there were alot of "failed"s, I don't really think that it matters anymore.īut now, the question remains, what were the other files that failed to copy over? (The micro SD card is a hand-me-down from one of my siblings.) But most importantly, it managed to copied over the files that mattered the most, which are the pictures and videos taken from my phone. it worked! (somehow, somewhat, and no more prawns.!) For some strange reason, it copied files that I have never ever seen before as well, which I assume was deleted data from the previous owner. Have no other options aside from Quit, and Dump.Ĭopyingfilesfail.jpg (47.08 KiB) Viewed 4862 times Filesystem seems damaged.īad: can't read exFAT backup boot record. Quick Search, and Deeper Search yielded no results. "Image created successfully but read errors have occurred." ![]() (Very worried.)Īttempting to create an image (which lasted ~8 hours), yielded nothing. Tried using testdisk to create a backup and restore corrupted partition. I tried using photorec first, to recover the files. Here is where I attempted to salvage my SD card (as a newbie, but to no avail): I tried searching for solutions online, and finally found photorec and testdisk (recommended by many users), and it seemed to be the best option available.
